Generator malfunction leaves Carnival Dream at St. Maarten port

Carnival Cruise Lines' Carnival Dream remains in port at St. Maarten in the Caribbean after technical problems arose with a backup diesel generator. The cruise line has made arrangements to fly the ship's passengers to their home cities or to Port Canaveral, Fla., and has canceled the Dream's sailing scheduled for Saturday. "While the ship's propulsion systems and primary power source were not impacted, in an abundance of caution, we prefer not to sail with guests on board without an operational back-up emergency generator," the company said.
